Are you happy with your username?

Can't get rid of it if I tried

I've been using mine since 2011, and I will continue using it for many years. I have an alternate one that I use in some cases (things that need a little more professionalism attached), but for everything else, I will forever be LordPassionFruit.

I also have never tasted passion fruit.

I’m not who I say I’m not

It can be tiring, what with the constant coming and going of souls next door, but it’s worth being the neighbor of the beast.

No chance I'm getting a username this simple on most platforms

I've never seen using the same name everywhere lead to something positive. Negative however, plenty of times.

...vile conservative cockroaches... Sorry, what was the question?

It's fine. I don't prioritize personally-relevant usernames. Using the same username across multiple platforms just makes it easier for data brokers and stalkers to make connections. Most of my usernames are the result of 20 seconds of thought related to some piece of media I have been consuming.

When I picked this one, I was reading about psychopomps in various cultures. This figure was one I hadn't read about before and I figured it would make for a nice, unique handle.

Yes, I have had it for over 20 years.

Of course. Derek is now both a singular point in space, and yet, Derek also contains space itself. The nexus of Derek is without dimension. The moment of Derek's creation and the eventual heat death of the universe are now inexorably the same.

Don't know if you'll see a lot of "no" replies, because I imagine if you're not happy with your username, you would've already done something by now like a new account.

I chose my username when I was a teenager and just kept with it since. The original meaning was that I'm a nerd, with both good and bad traits. It was also chosen with aspirations of being a YouTuber in mind and having something unique.

That being said, as I've matured I like to think that while I am a computer nerd, there's more to me than that single trait, so it may change in the future.

Fine by me. It's disconnected from prior usernames except in one case, which I prefer.

I like to hoot and holler

Gotta mix up names on different services to avoid being identified maliciously

Where is satansmaggotycumfart?

I was standing very far back when the gravitas was being handed out :(

I love my username cause it make me feel soft n chonky

I can't remember what mine is supposed to mean but it works

I never had complaints.

I'm not. And I won't be with another either.

HEXN3T. Simple. Memorable. Apt. Only took ten years to settle on.

Yeah.

Pfff no it's so picky and dry

This has been my handle for so long I honestly don't think I'm creative enough to make another one.

yes, but this is a permutation.

Well, it's my real name, sooooo

I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it's related to the music player and they wouldn't be wrong.

I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.

People that pronounce the 656 in my name: six hundred and fifty six drive me nuts.

Jokes aside I've had this username for around two decades, honestly it just sorta was the only thing that stuck with my 10 year old brain.

Edit: forgot to mention runescape, that's where this started.

Yes, it's the title of my all time favourite book. I don't use it anywhere else.

No... I had to change it because people kept making the same username joke. This nickname was chosen to remind me that sometimes peace is an option.

Yes of course, but also like many others I always pick a different name for each platform.

I only use this name for specific accounts usually for the purposes of social media. I have a different user name and account/email etc for everything else. But this nickname was given to me by a friend so yes. I'm happy with it.

I created one that stuck in 2009 or so. Used it up until last year, when I realized the old one was stale / I grew out of it.

So I'm Oka now, where available, and allow 3 character names.

I made a typo when I signed up lol

Yes

I am fine with it, I have been using nocturne on the Internet since 93. Although I hate having to use a number at the end of it. When I joined sopuli I decided to replace the c with a k, since the instance is Finnish and I wanted the name to appear more Finnish. But I do not care for how it looks with the k.

I have a mile long document of yet to be used ideas for song titles, synth patch names, lyric ideas, what have you...

I just harvested from that. It works.

It's free, everwhere. Except where my 11 year old self, creating a Minecraft account for the first time and inventing the name, already registered and forgot the PW.

It’s been with me for decades now. I couldn’t think of a different one to save my life.

It is good enough.

Quite happy.

Not the username I normally use, but I like it

I think it embodies my interest.

I would have preferred "ScreamingGrasshopperMouse", but it was too many characters long, so what I have now will have to do.

I wish it could be a full rainbow and now just blue.

I used to try taking Basculin as much as I could as jt was my first shiny pokemon, but on a lot of occasions the name got slipped from me by Pokemon fans. So I took CaptainBasculin. No complaints so far.

yes, it was my "gamer" name a long time ago, and due to small(ish) size of fediverse, i get it easily, it is either sga, or some combination of sga and 13

yes

I like mine (duh) but also switch it up on different platforms. I'm much more averse to being recognized on the internet now.

I say it sounds pretty good. It wouldn't even be this way if I didn't sign up to this website.

Gives off Flemish vibes, I love it.

I love mine. I once said "that's my name" before I even knew the concept of aliases and here I am

I like mine
